The Conviction of Isaac Watson, The case of Isaac Watson, before the justices at Driffield, is commented on by the Solicitors' Journal, Which impugns the conviction under the statute re ferred to—the 4th George IV., c 34—" for disobey jag the orders of his employer, to whom he had hired himself for a year, and who desired him to attend a place of worship once every Sunday. The Solicitors' Journal says : Such a thing has been heard of as " driving a coach and four through an act of Parliament," and not unfrequently are cases met with in which the laws have been perverted to effect an object never contemplated by them; but the jus tices of Driffiald appear to have made themselves parties to an attempt to make a man religious by act of Parliament, and, in so doing, have, as we humb'y submit, perverted the tneauing of the 4th Gorge IV., c3L We presume it is intended that the offence charge I comes within the words of the third section of the act, which says that if any servant, , shall contract with any person to serve him, and shall not enter into his service according to his contract (such con tract being in writing), or having entered shall absent him self, whether such contract be in writing or not, or neglect to fulfil the same or be guilty of any other misconduct or mis de em..a nouri n the execution thereof, or otherwise respectin3 the same, then the justice may issue a warrant upon a corn- Valet being made on oath. Upon proof being made of the offence charged, the justice may cc mmit the prisoner to hard labour for three months, or may abate the whole or part of his wages for the time of his absence, or may discharge the centrac% Now, it does not appear that the offence charged "was contemplated by the statute. In the first place, it is not probable that the servant agreed in writing to go to church every Sunday, and the presumption from the show ing cf these letters is that no such contract existed. Was Isaac Watson guilty of any neglect in the fulfilment of his contract, or guilty of any other misconduct, or misde meanour in the execution thereof, or otherwise respecting the same? The offence charged was not within his con tract for service, and therefore could not have come under this clause of the section. To anyone reading the third section of the act, of which we have given an abridgement, it must appear evident that no such offence as is charged is within the statute. The justice is to issue his warrant to apprehend the offender— nothing is said of a summons in the first instance—clearly shewing that the absence of the servant from his ordinary work and labour is being guarded against. Then again the punishment to be awarded shows the same intent—imprisonment with hard labour, or a fine of which the master is to reap the benefit. Clearly, if a man is at church, he cannot be doing work on a farm, and there for© the master would for that time lose tho benefit of the servant's work; but this does not appear to have been the complaint here, The master lost nothing by his servant's absence from church. The act was passed to protect mas ters from lose by resteen of a servant's misconduct in his service, and not for such a purpose as it has now been per verted to. The statement in the Marquis Townshend's let ter to Sir George Grey is very short, and may net contain the terms of the sentence pronounced upon the offender in their entirety ; but we apprehend that the justices have no Power under this act to order the prisoner to attend church. There is a civil remedy to compel the performance of a con tract; but this appears to have been one of those cases, now so frequent, in which a penal statute has bsen resorted to for the purpose of enforcing a legal right. ROZTEY MARKET AND COMMIRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A full demand for discounts is reported to-day in most quarters, but the rates have not moved upwards, because brokers and others have experi% enced an important increase in their available BuPPlies by the r e fl ux of notes and gold from the " u nt'Y) where their circulation was recently extended by the expenditure incidental to the harvest. The average quotation to-day for the last three months' piper is 9 per cent., but several .instances are mentioned where choice descriptions have been negotiated at } per ceLt. cheaper. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under:— _ 1864. 1863. Great Western N orth-Western So uth-Western Bright on Midland South Eastern Great Northern 1 aneashire and Yorkshire.. Aristol and Exeter North Eastern 64,691 57,533 Al anchso.er, Snetll2ld and Lincoln 21,383 19,253 Great Eis'ern. ' 31,017 32,512 These returns, when compared with those of the "coo period of last Tear, are of a favourable cha racter. Oa the Great Western there is an increase o f £6,152 ; on the North Western of £5,967 ; on the South "Western of £1,335 ; on the Midland of £ 3 ,003 ; on the Great Northern of £1,440; on the 1-eincashire and Yorkshire of £3,022 ; on the North Eastern of X 7,158; on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of £2,130; and on the Great Eastern of X 1,475. A further sum of £33,000 in gold was taken into the B ink yesterday. The failure has been announced of Messrs. Saal. feld Brothers, connected with the trade of Leeds. Their difficulties are supposed to have been pro d. ucei through their relati)ns with the Leeds Bank ' lug Comp any. The bills of Mr. John Abraham, of Alderman bu23'• engaged in the Leeds woollen trade, were returned this afternoon. The failure has been announced of Mr. C. Dose, . a large cotton speculator at Havre. The liabilities are stated at £40,000, and the assets are thought to be considerable. It is feared that the statements current yesterday that the affairs of the Leeds Banking Company are I ' 6l y to prove less unfavourable than was at first a ,nPposed w ill not prove to have b een we ll f oun d e d. It i 8 now said there are bills for about £2,000,000 und er discount, bearing the company's endorse , Izent, of.which a very considerable proportion will c ome back upon them, Under these circumstances there is no reason to apprehend that the liquidation wilt be a long and expensive one, and that heavy calla will have to be made on the shareholders. It is farther sffirmed that the bank has been insolvent for a long time past, and that the distress of thelast Month or two was only the natural and inevitable result of financial measures of more than doubtful Character, which have extended over a long period. The biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took Place yesterday at the Bank of England. The pro- Portions allotted were—to Calcutta £177,700, to Bombay £120,000, and to Madras £2,300. The nzinivtuni price was, as before, I.s. Did. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. 11ti. on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to £OBO,OOO. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at 2s. will receive about 23 per cent., on Bombay at 2s. id. about 60 per cent., and all above these prices in full. These terms indicate a diminished demand for remittances to the East. Ou the last occasion the lowest of the successful tenders was 2s. iv. on Calcutta and 2s. 113, on Bombay, and the applica tions amounted to £1,300,000. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap- Pointed the following special settling days : Monday, 26 h of September, in the European Cen tral Railway, for bargains entered into on and after the 23d of April ; Tuesday, the 27th of September, il l the Bank of London New £lOO shares ; and in the Imperial Mexican Railway, for bargains entered Into en and after the Ist of September, all of which are to be quoted in the official lists.

OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Pigott.) TUE CHARGE OF ILLEGALLY RECEIVING A LUNATIC. Henry Wilken, a surgeon, surrendered to answer an in. dictment charging him with illegally receiving a young lady named Eliza Mitten, a person of unsound mind, without having any authority or license from the Commissioners of Lunacy, under the statute of the Bth and 9th Vict., for the better protection cf persons of unsound mind. Mr GiffArd appeared for the posecution ; Mr Metcalfe defended. It appeared that the lady in question was of weak in tellect, and having become a patient of Dr Wilkin, he received her into his house, and kept her under restraint and conanetneut, and treated her as a person of un sound mind. Bat she contrived to make her escape, and was found wandering about until taken care of by the police, when Dr Wain claimed her as his patient, and the present proceedings were instituted under the statute against the defendant for not having complied with its provisions. A number of witnesses were now called, who spoke to the kind and humane manner in which he had always treated the young lady. • The Jury found the defendant Guilty. 1 he learned Baron ordered judgment to bo respited until next session. The defendant then entered into his own re• cognisances in £2OO to appear on the '26th of October to receive judgment, and left the court. CHARGE OF CHILD MURDER.

TIIIRD COURT. (Before Mr Commissioner Ker.) THE FRAUDS ON THE CITY GAS C)MPANY. - _ Richard Greenwood, lately a collector in the employ of the City of London Gas Light and Coke Cempany, who had pleaded guilty to:several indictments for embezzling moneys, was this morning called up for judgment. Mr Commissioner Ker sentenced the prisoner to five years penal servitude. otton Supply Association. At the usual weekly meeting of the executive com mittee, held on Tuesday, Sept. 20, a letter was read, dated Government House, An'igua, West Indies, August 20, stating that his Excellency, the Governor—in-Chief of those Islan&, has joined some gentlemen in an experi- ment to grow cotton on an abandoned sugar estate, with a view to induce proprietors generally to antEr into the cultivation. The first 100 acres will speedily be planted; the outlay is not more than 30s per acre; the seed used is from the island of Anguilla, where cotton has been most successful, and whence it is said the American planters procured their first seed. Satisfactory specimens of Antigua cotton have already been sent by the governor through the Board of Trade, and sanguine hopes of further success are entertained. A letter was received representing that the Haytian Government has raised the export duty on cot ton. A letter was read stating that Count Livachoff, principal aide-de-camp to the Grand Duke Michael, is desirous of introducing the culture of cotton into the Caucasus, where the short Bokhara cotton has already been successfully cultivated, and requesting such infor mation and assistance as the association can render. A letter was received, enclosing a small sample of African cotton which the British" Consul, Mr Balfour Baikie, has forwarded to Mr Bazley. A letter from the honorary agents of the association at Calcutta, states that cotton has been cultivated very extensively, but the out-turn cannot be relied upon, and in some districts will probably prove a failure, owing to the long continued drought. Many natives have been in duc2cl to purchase exotic seed, both Egyptian and Ameri can; the Rajah of Benares has taken a quantity of the lat ter. A letter was received from Wellington, Madras, enclosing a sample of a supposed kind of cotton fibre, obtained from a tree on the Neilgherry Hills, of which numerous specimens have at various times been forwarded, 'but which have never been found available. The honorary agents at Bombay report that they have recently supplied Egyptian, Now Orleans, and Sea Island seed to the deputy commissioner of Chandah, and have applications from Score (Bhopal), the deputy commissioner of Wurdah, the settle ment officer,Sukkur (Seinde),end others in Marcara (Coorg), and elsewhere. Consular despatches, forwarded by the Foreign-office, were received from Salonica, Thessaly, Adrianople, Smyrna, the Mores, and Madeira. In the lat ter island no cotton is grown, nor is there any prospect that its cultivation would afford satisfactory results. The consul of &atonica reports that in Macedonia 60,600 acres were planted with cotton in 1863, and about 140,000 acres in 1864 ; that in the former year 8,000 cwt of exotic seed, chit fly Ame rican, had been used, and that this year 40,000 cwt, all Ame rican, have been sown. The crop, which amounted to 90,0J0 cwt is 1863, is expected to. yield 350,000 cwt this year, As a proof of the energetic measures for the destruction of locusts taken by Akif Pacho, the Governor-General of Salonica, who offered a reward of a few piastres for every oke of locusts collected, and visited in person the localities most subject to their ravages, it is stated that as many as 1,600,0001 b weight of locusts were brought to Salonica and paid for. At the time they were collected they were so small that as many as 6,200 of thein only weighed one pound, showing how vast an amount of mischief has thus been prevented. This was not effected without con siderable difficulty, arising chiefly from the prejudices of the rural population who consider it a sin to de stroy locusts. The returns supplied by the vice-consul of Larissa and Volo show that in Thessaly 6,500 acres were planted with cotton in 1863, and about 25,030 acres in 1864; that 7,2501 b of American seed have been used this year, being four times the quantity sown the previous year, and that the produce, which in 1863 was 55,0001 b, will, it is estimated, amount to betwoen £1,650,000 and £2,750,0001b this year. The crop of the last two years has been shipped from Volo to Marseilles by French steamers. The expected cession of Government waste lands rent free, and the suspension for a term of years of the levy of tithes, have not been realised. The system cf farming and selling the tithes of the whole province to the highest bidders, who in their turn refarm and resell at a profit to other speculators the subdivisional portions of the ?everal districts, remains unaltered, and is said to be productive of infinite abuses, injustice, and vexation to the trader as well as to the grower. The want of roads is a great inconve nience, and adds considerably to the cost of transport. The crops everywhere present a most promising. appearance. Th o cultivation of cotton i n th e pashalik of Sm y rna ha s i ncre ased from 29,000 acr es i n 1863 to 53,750 acres in 1864, and the produce3whs 4 ich uo i n o bales,th ef is expected to ormer year, ex clusive of Adana, w ~ Nya roach this year 101,000 bales, or 303,000 cwts. In many loca lities the cultivators have been obliged to sow twice and oven three Mmes; later on the plant was attacked by a small Cleo patra grub, which injured the first shoots, but as the plant had time to make fresh and more numerous shoots, it is supposed that the crop has been much improved by this novel method of heading. It is generally expected that the In tho cotton c t g o r f o unel Adrianople,w ill b e much i c e e x . t e e o n ri d s e u d i n r e e p x o t rts thatspring. the pro. duce per acre is 300 to 3201 b, and in the districts of lJzun kiupru and Dimotica, 4201 b to 4351 b; that cotton is cultivated without irrigation, and that tithe has been com muted for a fixed assessment as regards old lands, to be re newed every five years. The amount which each village has to pay is collected by the primates, and by them remitted to the Treasury in quarterly instalments. In the province of Patras, in the Mor ea, the consul reports that the cu l t i va ti on of cotton has incre ased from 30 acres in 1863, to 1,138 3 acres in 1861, that there has been a gre a t er quantity of exotic seed used, pa rtl y American, and that the p ro duce . ‘ 3 v 9 h 6 i e o h oO bwlas, 6 1 ,600 this ye a l br h h former from embarking their p ro p erty in agricultural o perations , but under a strong and intelligent government t he Morea could produce a large q uantity of cotton.

The inseculity of p ro p erty in Greece d e t ers foreigners year,ieste is expected to bo planted with cotton in 1863, and 875 acres in 1864 ; a small quantity of American seed has been used, and an increase of produce from 50,00016. in the e former year to 200,0001 b. in the latter is expected. rho cultivation being poor, pecuniary advances and assistance in procuring seed and machinery are needed. In Messenia and Lacmia, in the Mores, the Vico Consul reports that 2,500 acres were planted with cotton in 1863, and 3,0',0 acres in 1864, and that the produce, w hi c h in the former year was 550,0001 b., is expected this year 825,0001 h. Whilst high latices con tinue, an increased production of cotton may y be expected. The inhabitants of the Rue de la Triperie at A Were alarmed t wo even i ngs since igu by - en t h e r eport of fire r rins. On g o i ng t o the eshNlo healing s (Gard) h , -use whence it proceeded, they found a woman named Advenier lying insensible in the entrance, and bleeding from a shot wound in the head. As 80011 as the woman re• covered sensibility, she stated that she had been shot by her husband. It appears that the wife, who is 40 years of age, while the husband is above 62, had left her husband's house six months ago, and had refused to return to live with him. Exasperated by her refusals, he at last determined on ven geance, and fired a pistol at her loaded with slugs. The woman is likely to recover. The husband was arrested at his own house almost immediately after the crime, but in the meanwhile he had taken poison, and now lies in a very precarious state.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A Womior.—John Barry, a cos termonger, was placed at the bar charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Hannah Springall, an unfortunate girl, Complainant's face was frightfully disfigured, and one of her eyes completely closed, besides which she had some wounds on the back of the head. She stated that the pri• soner had lived with her for a short time, but that she had left him on Sunday last in consequence of his repeated bru tality. On Tuesday he met and beat her with his fists, and at an early hour this morning committed the assault of which she now complained. He broke into her room, and beat her about the head with a piece of iron and a looking glass. He struck her several times, and afterwards com mitted an assault upon a soldier. Se was taken to the hospital where hor wounds were stitched up. Mr Arnold—Was the prisoner intoxicated ? Complainant—l cin't say he was sober. Mr Arnold—Did he inflict all the injuries you now bear ? Complainant—He did. Mr Arnold—How do you mean he beat you about the head with a looking-glass ? " Complainant—lie broke it about my head. The soldier assaulted did not press his charge against the prisoner, but gave some evidence in support of the state ment of prisoner's brutality to the woman. George Stickle, 95 B, said he wee called to St. Ann-street at one this morning, and there found the woman bleeding from the iojuries - she had received. Oa examining the pieces of glass he found some blood and hair on one of the pieces. Prisoner Aas remanded until Monday. MARLBOROUGH STREET. DESERTING CIIILDREN.—Francis Moscati, a pressman, who gave the address Drury Chambers, Drury-lane, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt, on a warrant, with deserting his three children, aged 5 years, 3 years, and 20 months, whereby they became chargeable to the pariah of St. James's. Mr Tett, inquiring officer of St James's parish, said the prisoner's three children had been admitted into the work house, being in a destitute state. From inquiries he made he found that the prisoner was a pressman, and had worked at Mr Howlett's, printer, of Frith-street, and could well earn £2 a week but for his drunken habits. Hs yesterday gave the prisoner the option of being admitted into the workhouse with his children, and then being passed to his parish, on goirg before the magistrate. The prisoner came iu, but in consequence of refusing to stay he was obliged to apply for a warrant and tali e him into custody, Ho had heard the prisoner had expressed his iatention of deserting his family and going into the army. The prisoner's aunt said he had been a hardworking young man till some time ago when he fell out with his wife, He brought the children to her to take care of, and as she could not keep them she took them to . the workhouse. The prisoner's wife was in the hospital, and only a few days ago gave birth to another child. She had been told that he intended to go for a soldier. Mr. Tyrwhitt said unless the prisoner could settle with the parish authorities he must be committed for a month. The prisoner said he had tried to get work and could not. Mr Tyrwhitt said a man who could earn good wages as a pressman was not a fit person for compassion, and (➢lt Tett stating that no arrangement could be made with the prisoner) committed the prisoner for a month. ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—Sarah Bell, cook to Sir William Abdy, of 208, Hill-street, Berkeley-square, was charged with attempting to commit suicide by hanging herself. Edward Sherrard, coachman to Sir Wm. Abdy, deposed that he Was called from the stables by some of the other servants, and on going to the prisoner's bedroom found her hanging by a piece of cord to a peg in the wall. He cut her down, and she was insensible for a short time, and she was afterwards given into custody. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, the witness said that the cord was tightly fastened round the prisoner's throat. Mr Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner for a week. PICKPOCKETS.—George Smith, Alfred Abrcy, end Robert Jacobs were charged by Henry Rough, 310 A, with attempting to pick pockets. The case being proved by the officer, who showed great perseverance in watching the prisoners, Mr Tyrwhitt com mitted them for three months each. THAMES. SERIOUS CHARGE OF STABBING.—RuyOIO/1d Rodrigues was brought helot . ° Mr Partridge charged with stabbing John de Leon, with intent to murder him or do grievous bodily harm. Mr Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner. Inspector Holloway, of the II division, stated that the prisoner and the mar he had wounded were both Spaniards and boarding-house keepers, Leon carrying an his business at No. 187, Itatcl,ff highway, and Rodrigues at 28, Albert street, Shadwell. Last night they quarrelled at the Rose and Crown publichouse in RAtelift-highway, and the pri soner uttered Erma threats towards Leon, and as they were leaving the house stabbed him in the abdomen with a long knife, inflicting a serious wound. The wounded man was taken to the London Hospital, and ho was not expected to recover. Mr Holloway then put in the following medical certificate. "John de Leon, who was admitte I hero last night with a punctured wound in the abdomen, is in a precarious way. I think it would be advisable to take hie evidence as soon as possible. it. T. Jubb, Surgeon, London Hospital, Sept. 22, 1861." Mr Partridge—Are there any witnesses ? Mr Holloway—Yes, sir, several. Blr Partridge directed that the prisoner should be at once taken to the London Hospital, and ho would proceed there as soon as possible and receive the deposition of the wounded man. The statement of Leon, and the evidence of J. Mitchell, of 187, Ratclift-highway, seaman, Briant Van de Mulur, waiter, at the hose and Crown, and Murphy, a clothier, made out a strong case against the prisoner, who was re mended for a week. Leon's recovery is very doubtful. Ho appeared to be in a sinking condition, and with difficulty gave his evidence through the medium of an interpreter. ecision under the New Medical Act. At the Marlborough-street Police Court, yesterday, Mr Fiancis Bearnard, surgeon chiropidist to the Royal family, No. 59, Regent-street, again appeared before Mr Tyrwhitt to answer a summons fJr using the word " surgeon" on his door, in contravention of the provisions of the New Medical Act. Mr W. Tilley, of Beaconsfield, Backs, representing the Medical Council ci Education and Registration, appeared in support of the summons. and Mr Lewis, jun., of Ely-place, appeared for Mr Bearnard. The case has already been reported. It may be recollected that on the first occasion it was p rove d on t h e one side, and admitted on the other, that the words "surgeon chiropo dist" were on the defendant's door plate; that the defendant was not a surgeon in England, nor was he registered as of the medical profession. Mr Tyrwhitt adjourned the case to take time to consider his decision. Mr Tyrwitt said I have cmsidered this case, and it appears to me that "surgeon," though prefixed to "chi ropodist," cannt. t be treated as mere surplusage, but must have - a meaning, ana was intended to have one. That mean ing must be measured, not in the narrow sense in which knowing Londoners, experienced in vain pretension and in the steps of medical rank, might take it, but by the general acceptation which the great bcdy of mankind passing the defendant's doer-plate would ascribe to the words used there. I think, on the whole, that these words would convey to them that a surgeon duly qualified and registered as such practised . at the house in question as a chiropc dist. Taken to be such a surgeon. he would command more confidence with those who sought his aid as a chiropodist; and, not only that, bat he might naturally be consulted by them in surgical matters beyond the mere treatment of corns. We must allow something for the craving after small titles which is so widely spread at pre sent, brought, it may be, by Gerroad steamers. The corn cutter is restless until he writes "chiropodist," and next, from fear of so much Greek not being understood, he dubs himself "surgeon" at all hazards. On the whole, it the defendant will remove from his door-plate and cards the word "surgeon," I might consider as to mitigating the penalty, which is £2O, and in that hope would adjourn my d ec i s i o n till this day week. But if the defendant requests me to grant a case for the opinion of a superior court I will do so. In that case it will be needless to adjourn the case, and I fine him £2O, r Lewis, jun., said since the last hearing Mr Bearnard had been to the Medical Council, and the secretary had informed him that they were not initiating the complaint. Mr Tyrwhitt said he had nothing to do with the Medical Council. Mr Lewis, jun., said if Mr Bearnard took a case to a superior court he had a right to know whether Mr Tilley was a responsible person. Mr Bearnard had been called upon by several medical gentlemen, who had expressed their distaste at the proceedings. After some consultation between Mr Lewis and Mr Bear nard, Mr Lewis said, with all deference to the judgment just delivered, his client would take a case, and Mr Bear nard would at once enter into the requisite sureties. Mr Tilley applied for suoutonses against other persons for infringement of the Medical Act, and they were granted.

The Prince and Princess of Wales in Denmark. out the Mites' , ecial Cot respondent) COPENHAGEN, Saturday. When the distinguished company assembled at Christiansborg Palace last evening left the concet t room, where for more than two hours Danish melo dies had been plaid or sung in brilliant succession, they proceeded to the Riddersaal, or great banquet. ting-hall, an apartment of truly Royal dimensions, and such as might have been erected by that Prince who declared that Westminster-hall was inten led by him merely for a bedroom in the palace he pas eloeut to build. On the way thither e procession sir a s famed in the following order :—First the Hof-Mere shal or L)rd High Steward, Gen. Oeholm ; then the Prince of Wales leading in Iler Me j -st y the I Queen of Danmark ; next the King, accompanying her 11 ;yal Highness the Princess of Wales, tae Lao dgrave William of Hesse with the Princess Mary of Anhalt, the Crown Prince of Danmark and the Princess Hilda of Anhalt ; finally Prince Hans of Glucksburg with the Princess Dagtnar. The immediate suites of Royalty and the more distin guished guests, that is to say, in Danish phrase, " the ladies of the Court and cavaliers," followed, and finally those constituting the general company. Passing from the Hall of Music through what is called the Seventh Great Room, and which no doubt purposely was kept a little gloomy, el scene of rare beauty burst upon them as they entered the Rid dersaal. The height of this enormous room is fully 50 feet, its length and width are proportionate, and when illumined by 2,000 wax lights, the pureness of its decorations, of white and gold throughout, conveyed to the senses an impression as of an atmo sphere of lustrous ivory, It was only by degrees that the eye accustomed itself to the details, and learnt to admire the ceiling moulded into a pattern diamond shaped and deeply recessed, the exqueite marble Mize by Bissen, and the means existing for throwing down this wonderful body of light, with.. out the intervention of a single lamp. Five large tables for refreshments ran round the apartment, and in the centre was one specially devoted to the Royal party. The latter answered at the same time the purposes of a buffet, there being displayed upon it three splendid silver stands, illustrative of hunting scenes, which were made in Paris for Chris tian VII., also three beautiful vases, dating from the time of Frederick VI., enriched upon their lofty sides with views of Frendensborg, Fredericksburg, and Sorgenfri, the residence of the Qeeen Dowager. The refreshments, which were moulded by culinary art into wonderful shapes, and were, it is needless to add, of the choicest quality, were taken standing, by the company. After supper had practically concluded the members of the royal party remained for a long time in conversation with their guests. Among those with whom they talked freely was the First or Senior Bishop of Zealand—for in Denmark they have no archbishops—the head of the Luther. ran Establishment in the country. This right reve rend prelate, equally with the other clergymen pre ' sent, was attired in the costume which has been handed down in its integrity from the time of Luther. D.ffering, however, frcm the officiating clergy of particular districts he, with his colleagues among the higher orders in the ministry, is entitled to wear silk, and even velvet, instead of the plain stuff dress or gown ; and when to this decorations for long and distinguished service are added, it may be questioned whether even the formal Lutheran costume does not approach somewhat near to the " pomps and vanities," In every quarter of the room to which the Queen of Denmark happened to make her way her presence could be traced when her face could not be seen by the lustre of the diamond head-dress which she wore. Judg ing from their size, these brilliants probably formed part of the Regalia. Ribands and badges were by no means confined to the male por tion of the assembly, for several of the ladies present were similarly distinguished. These were members, not of the order of the Parfaite Alliance,' upen to ladies as well as to gentlemen, which once 2 existed in Danmark, but of the Royal Chapter of Valloe, a wealthy and benevolent ordtr, to which none but ladies of noble birth are admitted. 0 members in this there are at least four grades, and it is indispensable that they should all be peeresses in their own right, In the first of these grades the members are entitled to a residence, to a yearly in. come of 1,200 ticus, and to other advantages, inc'ul- ing the privilege of wearing the badge and riband of the order; the second class can only wear the badge, receiving 650 ccus yearly; to the third class 300 ecus annually are given without any honorary distinction. This order, half feudal, half eleemosy nary, was established in the year 1737 by Sophia Madeline, wife of Christian VI. Glancing from the shoulder knots and ciphers in brilliants worn by this honourable sisterhood, to the other portions of the radiant assembly met together in this kingly hall, it was impossible to believe that this could be a State in its decadence, and almost in danger of dis appearing from the map of Europe. Where were the symptoms of that decay and corruption foretell ing the final agony ? The King was surrounded by Ministers—men, indeed, who might have been mis taken in their action, but of unswerving honesty and integrity of purpose ; by generals representing an army of such indomitable courage that it never ceased to show front to its enemies, though crushed by overwhelming disparity of force. Men of historic title—the D a nneskiold-Samsoes, Oztholms, Lewen. akiolds, Laurvigens, Ahlefelts, Brcstropps—stood around him. Great landholders, such as the Counts of Schulein, Holstein-Ledreburg, Langeland, and Danneman, were in attendance to prove their loyalty. The truth is that in all that constitutes the true- progress of a nation Denmark has not declined of late years. Otliers with larger populations may have advanced more rapidly, but for that she cannot be blamed. Edu cation and respect for the laws have never been more general in the country ; nearly every social grade is comfortably off; the institutions are, it anything, only too liberal. Last, but certainly, not least, the Court, like our own, is one where the breath of scandal can find nothing upon which to rest and blacken. Such was the scene of the Rid■ dersaal, and such the reflections it provoked. It only remains to be added that the perfect success of the evening's entertainments was largely owing to the admirable arrangements made beforehand, and carried out under tue personal supervision of the Hof-Marshal and Martuhal do la Cour. MR. COX.WELL'S BEN EFIT AT TIIE CRYSTAL PALACE. --Yesterday was a busy day at the Crystal Palace for all who take an interest in ballooning, Mr Cox well, who has done so much to raise it from a mere amuse ment to the dignity of a scientific pursuit, took his first benefit there, and throughout the day furnished a continual succession of novel and interesting exhibitions of his art. The balloon races were a great success, and at half-past four Mr Coxwoll, accompanied by some half-dozen adven turous volunteers, made an ascent in the "Mammoth," which now deserves to be reckoned as one of the great scientific observatories of the world. Later on there were some entertaining expeligients in the Central Transept with a navigable aerial sllo, and at half-oast 7 there was a grand night ascent in the "Mars," with a display of fire- works. Mr Coxwell was loudly cheered whenever he ap peared, and on all sides there seemed to be a general dis position to make amends to him for the illusage hesuffered from the turbulent Foresters at Leicester. The admissions on payment were 10,837 —by season tickets, 2,625—t0ta1, 13,462. A letter from Lyons, in the Moniteur des Arts states that some workmen engaged in digging near the wood of Rochecardon, in the environs of that city, have discovered traces of a Roman camp. Near the surface they found a quantity of fragments of arms and other articles, chit fly bronze, and, at the depth of 18 feet, a number of swords, battle-axes, spear-heads, &c., all in tolerable pre setvation. They also found a number of bronze coins, beating the heads of Domitian Autoninus and Marcus Au relius, and one silver medal of the Emperor Albinus. It is supposed that this spot was the scene of a fierce conflict in the great battle between Albinus and Septimus Sevel us, which is known to have taken place ou the left bank of the Saone in that neighbourhood. AU t h e objects found in these excavations are now in the an antiquary of Lyons.

Yesterday being the feast of St Mstthew, the senior scholars of Christ's Hospital, according to annual custom, delivered the orations and recitations of the year heft re the Lord Mayor, Mr Sheriff Nissen, several members of the Town Council, and a large number of the friends of the students. The civic party first attended service at Christ Church Newgate-street, where a sermon was preached by the Rev, Dr. W. Hsig Brown, of Pembroke College, Cambridge, who has recently been appointed head master of Charter house School. The Lord Mayor and party then proceeded to the great hall of tho hospital, where they took their seats on a raised platform at the western end. For the orators a dais was erected in the centre of the hall, and the galleries were occupied by the junior boys. The Rev. Dr Jacob, the head-master, and the other masters of the school were present around the dais. Mr William Ferrer, 3d Grecian, Thompson mathema tical medallist and Monte.fiore prizatnan, 1861, scholar of Pembroke College, Oxford, delivered the prologue in Latin. He asked a fair hearing for his fellow students, and ex pressed a hope that, amidst the many disturbing cares of the present day, the audience might be able to give a few minutes to the youthful exertions of those who woull ad dress them— " Favete—Adeste ;evils manibos, et res plandite Manibus benignis et juvenis fugitat pudor." Mr Arthur Bovill, 4th Grecian, next delivered the Greek oration on the benefits of the Royal hospitals. Mr Lewis La Hardy Sharkey, Ist Grecian, Thompson classical medallist, 1852, Richards medallist, 1862 and 1861 scholar of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, delivered the English oration. The Latin oration was delivered by Mr A. R. Dawson, 6,11 Grecian, scholar of Magdalene College, Cambridge. Mr Robert Harry Hughes, sth Grecian, scholar of Jesus College, Cambridg,, delivered the French oration. Tao following recitations were then delivered :—Greek lambics—Translation from " Hamlet," Mr D. Lee Scott, 9th Grecian. Latin Elegiacs—Translation of "The Poor Man's Deathbed," Mr Richard Lee, 10th Grecian. Greek Sapphics, translation from "The Isles of Greece," Mr J. E. Farnell, 7th Grecian.

Latin Alcaicz, "The Rocky Islet," Mr A. E. ILAgson, hilt Grecian. English Poem, " Westminster Abbey," Mr Sharkey, Ist Grecian. A collection was then made on behalf of the young men proceeding to Oxford and Cambridge, and the proceedings terminated with the National Anthem. The delivery of the orations and recitations was very good, and the various orations were justly applauded by those critical scholars who could appreciate the difficulties of the task which the young Grecians had to overcome. The fairer portion of the audience also heartily joined in the manifes tations of applause, though probably from more tender feel ings. The orations were well committed to memory, and were spoken in a fluent and clear style; but making this remark, we only say what is the ordinary case at the annual exercitations of the alumni of this excellent schwil.

BENAIIES PLOT.—The Maharajah of Bemires lately sent word to the local authorities that a Mahomedan stranger in the city had made urgent applica tions for an interview with him , on the plea hat he bore confidential despatchm w hi c h must be delivered into the Maharajah's own hands. For some nation the man was suspected to have come from the neighbourhood of Sitt ana . It was therefore deci ded that the interview be , granted, and at the ques t of the Maharajah an agent of Govern ment concealedc in the room of audience to hear what special e ial r passed The scoundrel, who g i ves t he name of Goon Khan. . of Rewah, duly kept his tiyste, and presented what pur ported to be letters bearing t i e signature and seals of the Akhoond of Swat and Rajah of Jummo, introducing the bearer as their confidential agent, who would receive any thing the Maharajah would send them, and who bore mes sages of importance fr.mn them to the Maharajah. The man then went on to state that it was arranged by the abound and the Raj ih of Juliano that they should make a joint attack on the British immediately after the rains, and the Rajahs, Nawabs, and other men of influence in Hindostan be invited to co-operate by simultaneously rising and by sending recruits and money to Sittana. When he had ex hausted his budget the agent of Government stepped from behind the purdah and arrested him. Other Punjabees have since been taken in the city who have been consorting with this man, and from whom .further revelations may be expected. Meanwhile Government is vigorously prosecu ting inquiries in other quarters. It is suspected that these men are mere imposters, and in no way connected with or commissioned by the Akhoond or Cajah, but merely traffic ing on the dis Content of the people for their own peculiar betitat,—Det'hi Gazette.
